Happy Saturday, you creative demigods!

Here's what's on tap:

[h2]Day 2 Morning/mid day:[/h2]
The Skyes are meetin' with the Cap'n.
The Cap'n's gonna have a sit down with Sam.
Abby's gonna get a customer.
Way up East, Yuri's gonna get an ass chewin'.

[h2]Day 2 Afternoon/evening:[/h2]
Heard tell the Cap'n and the Doc are in cahoots.
Abby's finally goin' sock shoppin'...and maybe a side trip.
Pen says she might be headed a little further out in her explorations.
Way up East, Yuri's gonna be dealin' with "pretty pretty lights an' it'll play Merry Hob with your radars."

So that's what we know's happenin'.  Got anything else on the burner?  Send us a wave.  Cap'n and the deckhand are glad to help support, and we've been known to create an NPC or two get a scene off the ground.


[h2]A word about our timeline:[/h2]
If you kept up with all that "king tuna" season talk, you recall that China Doll was scheduled to touch down 2 days before the fishing season would begin.  Now, we know you've all seen "The Deadliest Catch" and "The Perfect Storm" enough to know that a big fishing boat can be gone for days or weeks at a time until they fill their holds.  As we're booked to pick up a couple tons of fresh tuna, we could be "waiting for our ship to come in" for a good while if we were making a legal buy.

But this is "Firefly."  And we are "naughty folk, slipping about."

Turns out our fishing boat left early, from another port.  Been playin' the far end of the fishing grounds ahead of season to get us our order early.  We'll be flyin' out to meet 'em and make the buy just after the season starts...to make that part all legal on paper.  Since we're good at hoverin', we'll airlift the tuna off their deck and hightail it to the black while they get to fishin' proper.

So, Pen and Abbs were just talkin' during Day 2 morning.
Day 3 afternoon (3:00PM local time)  starts the official fishing season.  China Doll will be lifting off about then.

That's the plan.  But remember, plans can always change.  You get a good story running in Pensacola and you need more time, Wolf and I can dream up all sorts of reasons to delay launch.

Write when it's fun.
